Great spot for a date night. A la cart menu has a fresh catch that we both ordered and it was delicious! Nice to see that they offered options for non-meat eaters. Attentive service and a nice environment that wasn't loud, so that we could actually have a conversation :)
KojinResponded on May 24, 2025
Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your date night with us and that it hit the mark. It's great to know our non-meat options and quieter atmosphere made your evening even better—we believe good food and good conversation go hand in hand. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you back again soon!

The reviews were spot on, my dinner was AMAZING! I had to try the tasting menu and it did not disappoint one bit! A wealth of delicious flavors, cozy intimate atmosphere, and personal touch from the owners and staff made this a truly memorable experience. The "Chef's Table" experience was top notch and totally worth it. The caviar course blew me away! When I am back in town, I will definitely be back for more. Thank you for being the highlight of my vacation!
KojinResponded on May 8, 2025

It means a lot to us that we could be a highlight of your vacation — that’s exactly the kind of experience we strive to create. We’ll be sure to share your compliments with the team (especially about that caviar course!). We can’t wait to welcome you back the next time you’re in town!
